Re: MMA
Bit strange. Usually there’s a couple of fights or at least fighters that pull you in.
I mean we may still get some good fights, but on paper. Like you said. Doesn’t do anything for me.

Re: MMA
I just downloaded the telecast from last night to watch the Kape and Adesanya fights. Always brightens my day when Adesanya loses.
One particularly retarded bettor bet $220,000 on Adesanya to win $32,592.59.

Re: MMA
Enjoyed Adesanya getting outmanned by Strickland. What a poor poor performance, his boxing is absolutely woeful. The knockdown in round 1 was like a carbon copy of Froch knocking out Groves, throws a desperate shot to get his back off from the fence and was wide open.
After he got hurt in r1 he just got on his bike, what a truly pitiful effort from a champion. It's not the first time I've seen him look like trash, it wasn't too disimilar to his fight vs Romero, where he did the square root of zero.
The guys a one-trick pony that's dined out on some kick-boxing counter shots, and an obnoxious racist pig to boot. Hopefully we see him get chinned a few more times before he gives it up completely.

Strickland has said racist, homophobic and misognyist things in the past. Neither guy is very likable.Ricky wrote: ↑11 Sep 2023, 09:56 Enjoyed Adesanya getting outmanned by Strickland.

The FOTY to happen twice. I'm looking forward to Costa vs Chimaev. Edit -- Usman vs Chimaev
